Champions League predictions: Liverpool, Real Madrid or Barcelona?
BBC’s chief football writer Phil McNulty: My winning choice Liverpool, This summer is based on the great strengthening they perform. Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak are two upper -class players who are ready for the Champions League.
Last season, the whims of the new league system saw Liverpool met with PSG, the final winner in the last 16, when they lost their penalties in Anfield.
If Liverpool definitely reaches the knockout phase, the anfield factor grows with every game.
The PSG will once again be a great danger, the perfect side that deserves the status of Europe as the best team, and Real Madrid enters the Champions League speech as potential winners.
BBC’s senior football reporter Sami Mokbel: I am going Liverpool. Four wins in the Premier League and they have not yet hit Top Gear. Oh, and Isak is waiting on the wings. Arne Slot’s side is the team to be defeated.
Former German midfielder Thomas Hitzlsperger: The truth is usually the club with the most powerful mentality in this competition, but it must be one of the PSG’s favorites, and Liverpool considering that they have had such a good Premier League season, considering that they have invested a lot in his team.
When I think of who will play in the final, these two teams come to mind immediately and if I need to choose someone to win, Liverpool. The team’s depths were excellent, the quality was already there, and now they brought Isak to the fore.
BBC Radio 5 live football reporter John Murray: When he won a number of Europe’s richest league in a comparative canter, spending the best part of the new players on new players, and at the same time securing the services of two of the club’s biggest servants Liverpool.
Last season, they lost only the winners in a penalty shot. This season, Liverpool and PSG would be a tremendous possibility for the finals in Budapest.
Match of the Day commentator Steve Wilson: Overturning real Madrid Winning the Champions League is almost not the job of a sedator, but you are not likely to be wrong. I thought Xabi Alonso had done some interesting things with his team at the Club World Cup – and more include Arda Guler.
His progress was kept back with the love of everyone in Bernabeu for Luka Modric, and now he has a license to really spread his wings.
Observer football reporter Rory Smith: Obviously it was an unacceptable season real Madrid He won the cup that the club sees as the right to birth, and Alonso’s main task as an administrator is to correct it. The truth is never the most consistent team in Europe, but they have more individual abilities than anyone else, and often this is important.
Former England captain Steph Houghton: I support PSG To win again. A young staff who already experienced winning, as well as athletic and advanced thoughts.
Former Scotland wing player Pat Nevin: I went to my heart with my head for a change. I love PSG And the ways of playing and the way football is currently playing with its aggressive attitudes. I also love them to love their wings!
Spanish football expert Guillem Balague: I feel PSG In every position, quality, net leadership and the dominant model of our time confused with the best players – Spheric Football – they launched a new success period for use.
I’m not sure they’il be close to Barcelona, but they’re going to solve their deficiencies.
BBC Champions League analyst Stephen Warnock: According to me Barcelona I will win – and I’m going with Lamine Yamal to be the star player of the tournament.
Former Arsenal defender Matt Upson: I went Barcelona, A young team grew up from the experience of cracking for semi -finals last season.
They were very unlucky not to make the final and played brightly against Inter Milan – they were exposed to a really strict team that had a way to play and said on the tin. But Barca will have learned from this.
The club now seems a little undecided from the field, but special young talents and know -How have a good balance – Robert Lewandowski’s coming and affecting games.
